| Summary: | Objective: This research was designed to study the effects of calcium hydroxyapatite nanoparticle incorporation on polymerization as well as the shear bond strength for Heliosit adhesive. Materials and methods: Calcium hydroxyapatite nanoparticles were prepared from natural products using the sol-gel method, and were inspected using a transmission electron microscope. The nanoparticles were added to the conventional orthodontic adhesive at 2% wt and 4% wt concentrations. The degree of conversion for each test group was measured using a Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy device. Each adhesive group was used for bonding metal brackets to the premolar buccal enamel surface. The shear bond strength of all samples was measured. Results: A significant difference was found among all the study groups (p ≤ 0.05) in terms of the degree of conversion and shear bond strength. The 2% wt nanoparticle group showed the highest values for both variables. The lowest value was recorded within the 4% wt nanoparticle group in comparison to the control group. Conclusions: Calcium hydroxyapatite nanoparticle incorporation with a conventional Heliosit adhesive resin to a limited concentration has improved the mechanical properties of orthodontic adhesive. |
